Tri PRC 152 MBTIR Replica (Super Gucci)

Programming Cable!

Hi guys, I am interested in buying this radio, but no one has answered the question of where to get the programming cable, or if there even is a cable for that matter! I will only buy the radio if I can control the software from a computer.

Well, everyone, I have good news. I found a free, open-source program called CHIRP. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home

I think that if the serial interface port on the TRI is wired up for programming, we can program this radio!

Re: Tri PRC 152 MBTIR Replica (Super Gucci)

I bought one tri prc-152 from toysoldier. The battery charger always shows green(means fully charged) but when i use it, it won't last more than 30 minutes
The FM channel and weather boardcast are fantastic, yet i still need to return this unit to toysoldier.
it wont work with my real headset comtac ii.
Charger and battery are bad.

btw i bought toysoldier's ptt(says work for real steel, but it doesnt)

That's a shame mate. My two from Tri are faultless, batteries charge and last forever.

What's this weather broadcast thing? I don't have that! Or haven't found it...

Re: Tri PRC 152 MBTIR Replica (Super Gucci)

heya rich, have watched your previous videos with interest, any chance you could do a test with a real headset (MSA Sordin, Comtac etc) to see what it's like with a low impedance mic?

Re: Tri PRC 152 MBTIR Replica (Super Gucci)

I can't as I don't have that kit however the radio comes bundled with a replacement mic for those headsets illuminating the problem or of course you can use the £20 impedance cable.

So long and short of it - no lol sorry.

Hi, Rich
have you tried the http://www.antoutdoors.com/index.php...i-prc-152.html ?
the impedance cable, does it work?

I just got my prc-152, I have not yet receive the ptt and cables yet. I ordered twice so.....

[Rich83]

Re: Tri PRC 152 MBTIR Replica (Super Gucci)

That is the right cable and I have read else where that it works so I can't imagine it won't work.

Re: Tri PRC 152 MBTIR Replica (Super Gucci)

I just compared the toysoldier and p-x prc-152

when i switch both unit to FM101.3

The toysoldier makes weird sound, P-x's unit does not.
